About Us

The non-profit North Coast Center for Biodiversity and Sustainability formed August 30, 1993. In March of 1997 it was renamed LEGACY – The Landscape Connection.

LEGACY-The Landscape Connection (TLC) has worked on developing a biodiversity conservation strategy for the North Coastal Basin (NCB) of California. We provide information for protection and restoration of native biodiversity in the Klamath Ecoregion.

LEGACY-TLC is a collaboration of community members, landowners, professional scientists, educators, researchers, and students united under the vision of creating an ecological-based, science-informed, and collectively built conservation strategy to reconnect the fragmented landscapes of our ecoregion.

LEGACY-TLC supports local conservation efforts by providing a regional perspective on biodiversity and sustainability issues in northwestern California.

LEGACY-TLC is a California-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our expertise and dedication to conveying the complex biological messages of our place, provide a regional context for various groups in their land management decisions.

We wish to thank the ESRI Conservation Program and the Society for Conservation GIS for software grants they have awarded LEGACY. This support has enabled us to provide maps and analysis to assist North Coast landowners and conservation organizations in restoring and protecting wildlife habitat.
